For Connaught building, same traffic but less jam. Drop off east and west split the traffic. Would change sussex for a one way only.
Pretty sure 1 floor is enough high for a train station.
Upper floors could still be offices or other public use like a museum, stores, restaurants
Or even high end residences.
Obviously the building would need massive work.
Remember that the building is pretty much a copy paste of the nature museum for inside possibilities visualization

Off topic, but back in the 1980s when Canada Customs was in that building they had a small public exhibit there on how customs and border operations worked. Now that that building partially houses the headquarters of the Canada Revenue Agency, I think the best use of the ground floor of the Connaught Building would be a Tax Museum that educates people about taxation in the same way the Bank of Canada Museum does with the economy. If you've ever been into that museum they do an excellent job, one of the most informative museums in the city. And gosh, do some Canadians need to be educated about taxes and government finances, equalization payments, etc.
